Reports: Roseanne Revival (With Original Cast) Is in the Works

By: Joe Hyer

The show's stars are all expected reprise their roles, according to the report published on Friday. Yes, Roseanne Barr, John Goodman, Sara Gilbert and Laurie Metcalf are all expected to be involved in the project. In fact, the intent is for other core cast members (like Big Bang Theory star Johnny Galecki) to appear as well. Roseanne's original executive producers are also onboard, according to the report.

Multiple networks are said to be bidding on the project at this point. Roseanne originally aired on ABC, but other outlets (like Netflix) are believed to be interested in the project.

A resurgence of popular shows from the '90s and early '00s is underway, of course. Netflix has already revived Full House and The Gilmore Girls. NBC is releasing new episodes of Will & Grace this fall, and The X-Files are returning to FOX.

May 20 of this year will actually mark 20 years since the finale of Roseanne first aired. It was watched by more than 20 million people.

We can already hear the show's iconic harmonica playing from Lanford, IL 20 years later...
